Now that Bachmann has released their EZ Command system, I'm probably going to give it a try because of the cost.and ease of use. Not every model railroader in the world has a large basement in which to build their dream layout. I plan on building a small switching layout (2' x 12') that will require the use of just a few locomotives, but the idea of NOT having to deal with electrical blocks for such a small layout is very appealing. I would like to have the option of keeping a half-dozen or less locomotives on the layout at all times, and I feel that DCC is a good option. I don't plan on running more than one locomotive/consist at a time anyhow, so the power output limitation will not be a factor for me. <br /> <br />I remember my first layout, before the advent of DCC. It was a hassle for me as a youngster to design, build, and wire a layout just so that I could do the one thing that I wanted to do from the beginning - OPERATE TRAINS! With a simple DCC like this one, I think that alot of first time modelers will find the hobby more enjoyable. I don't feel that you should have to take courses in electrical engineering just to build a simple layout. I think thats where this system's marketing niche comes into play. <br /> <br />Just as its not a requirement for all of your locomotives to brass, your DCC system shouldn't necessarily come with every bell and whistle. It was designed to be simple, because for alot of modelers, simple is what we want.
